She seems to be separating herself from the others now and not eating much, is this normal when moulting? Also, will she get cold with the bald patches?

My dominant hen has lots of bald patches, above and below her tail all round her bum and belly. The skin looks perfectly normal and new feathers are starting to come through, its just the amount of feathers she's lost I'm worried about. Her...

Today she has gone outside but has separated herself from the others, she's not coming when i call her and she's not really eaten much, she looks healthy enough, really confused!!

i have 3 lohmann hybrids that are a year old, i've recently added 6 chicks (14 weeks old) to my flock which seem to be getting on ok. one of my adults doesn't seem to like the chicks but now i think she's gone broody. she normally lays within 10 minutes then goes out with the rest of them, but...

I have 7 3 1/2 week old chicks, not sure what breeds they are but two seem to have more of a comb than the others, i will try to upload photos. Any ideas????

What about puppy training pads?

might need to zoom in, its gotten smaller so pretty sure it was yolk

I started off incubating 18 eggs, threw 10 away that weren't fertile or died before day 18, and was left with 8. Out of the 8 that were ok I put them into lockdown, I am now on day 23 so I decided to candle them. Out of the 8 that I candled only 3 were moving and chirping so I opened the 5 that...

I've done as u suggested and made a hole in the air sac and could see movement. How long should i give them because its day 23? my temperature has been between 97.5 and 99.5

The one that has hatched still has some of the yolk to absorb, will it survive? Do i just leave it?

While hatching

How long should i leave the others before candling them again? to see if they've pipped into the air sac?

The one that started pipping has half come out of its shell, its legs are still inside the shell. It is laying on its side and is flapping its wings (sort of anyway). It still has its eyes closed, is this normal? How long will it be until it starts walking around?

I'm on day 22 and one has started to zip, I candled the other 7 and only one of them has gone into the air sac. I tried tapping on them but only heard peeping from the one in the air sac. are they OK even though they're a day late? someone said to make a hole in the air sacs but not sure...

the one that died had absorbed all the blood from the inner membrane but not all the yolk

My temp is 99 and the humidity is between 60 and 65%

it had completely broken into the air sac and was 3/4's of the way through zipping, really hope the other 8 hatch or at least some of them. How long do i leave them for before i do the float test thing to check viability?

it is a home made incubator, but there are 7 holes in it, 1 of which is 1 1/2 inches long. It was out of a normal sized egg, the temp in the incubator is 99*f and the humidity is between 60 - 65% since lock down. When I opened the shell she looked perfect and had absorbed most of the yolk and...
